Dined at the Appleton Melting Pot for a belated Valentine's Day celebration. Our server made the day special and even brought out candles. She was very attentive and kind. The food was excellent and was an overall enjoyable experience!

Delicious food, great variety, wonderful helpful service. We had never been before and Kailey (sp?) did a great job guiding us through the experience. Definitely on the more expensive side but great for a celebration or a special time!

I haven’t eaten at your establishment multiple times and it has been a pleasant experience but Saturday night was not up to the expectations or the quality that I have had in the past. When I made reservations first of all they didn’t tell me it was in the bar area. I was disappointed because it was quite noisy and we felt we were forgotten at times. We asked if there was booth available but there was not. This would be something that should be explained before arriving.

Great food, good value. Our waitress was awesome!! It had been years since I had been to a Melting Pot. She was patient in answering our questions and helpings us choose our dinner. She even went above and beyond when my 6 year old daughter spilled her kitty cocktail on her white jean jacket. She helped us get the stain out! She even made note that we had event to get to by 6 and made sure we left on time. Probably the best service I've ever received at any restraunt!

It was a great experience like usual. The server seemed to rush us just a little and comparing the amount of food for the kids meal versus the adult; I realized adults pay a lot more for not that much more food! Regardless, we love this place and never have less than a 4/5 experience so will absolutely be returning.

Our family went out to celebrate getting a new puppy this coming week! Our 9 year old and 12 year old loved the food and the experience just as much as my husband and I did. Our server was wonderful at recommendations and the timing throughout the evening was perfect. Thank you!

I have been telling all my friends and family that they need to go here! They give you the opportunity to donate to St. Jude Hospital and win a little something if you donate. The hostess brought my fiancé and me to our booth and handed us a handwritten card wishing us a happy anniversary with a coupon inside. The manager came up to us and personally wished us a happy anniversary and checked how everything was going. Our server was OUTSTANDING in every way. The Melting Pot staff truly made us feel like their only customer, which is really special. I loved the ambiance and it was the perfect place to celebrate a great day!

I brought my 8 yr old son for cheese and chocolate. We had a wonderful time. Jade was a great server and suggested a yummy cheese. The bread assortment could have been higher quality but still tasty when dipped. The chocolate and chocolate dippers were scrumptious.

The waitress would be gone for 30 minutes before coming back to our table. Twice with forget to refill our waters she said she would be right back for. After 90 minutes we had to leave for a painting class so we had to come back after to finish our dessert course. We had “all you can eat” entrees but didn’t have time to enjoy that since it took 30 minutes to refill the meats.

I have been a loyal Thursday night ladies night customer for many, many years. So when I learned at this visit to the restaurant that the long-standing ladies night deals and crave combo were no longer offered at a discount, we left immediately without ordering. I will not return. I can't afford to eat at The Melting Pot without those discounts, even for a special occasion. I guess it explains why the parking lot and restaurant were totally empty at 5:30 on Thursday night, something I have never seen there before. I can't imagine this is a sound business decision for the restaurant, and I sincerely hope they revisit this change in the future. The server was perfectly understanding and seemed very apologetic for this change to the menu.

Amazing food and experience. However, we booked a reservation stating we were celebrating our anniversary and shortly after our appetizer a family with loud children were placed across from us. They were loud enough to where I couldnt hear/have conversation with my husband across the table. Ultimately, we stopped talking to eachother. We know its not 100% avoidable, however, it did put a damper on our dinner as we made sure to have a sitter so we could enjoy our very rare date night let alone a celebratory one. Perhaps the waitstaff could be a little more mindful on where they seated families when couples reserve tables for intimate events such as anniveraries. The food and everything else was phenomenal, no compaints whatsoever and our waitress was wonderful. I wouldve been more inclined to stay and have ordered extra drinks/desserts had it not been for the other table. Thank you so much.

While the service was great and we had a nice server, there was issues with our burner. It either burned really hot or cold. It probably took over 15-20 minutes for our chocolate to heat up so we could eat it. We let our server know and she tried to get it to work as best as possible but even said that she had told management about issues with that burner multiple times. Maybe then that booth/burner should be taken out of use until they know it was working properly. Nothing more frustrating than having some amazing food sitting in front of you and not being able to enjoy it properly.

My husband and I try to come here at least once a year. This last visit was our worst experience. We had a server who was very new and it was very evident. She didn’t use very much wine for our cheese fondue, so there wasn’t much for dipping, which we couldn’t do because she forgot our dippers and we had to wait until she remember. She also forgot our dippers for our chocolate fondue. There was a misunderstanding about our entree portion which the manger corrected. The manager did a wonderful job seeing that our dinner went well. They need to train the servers longer before letting them off on their own.

Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your last experience, we will look into our training procedure and make sure that we are better preparing our staff to deliver the experience you deserve.
Sincerely,
Dave Ahern

I’ve had incredible experiences in the past at the Melting Pot In Appleton, but this last time wasn’t as great. Our waitress took a long time in between courses when we were obviously finished and waiting for the next part. She also never refilled our drinks

For the first time in a very long time, the service was very, very slow. We had endless entrees and it took a very long time to get them or any new sauces. At one point we had to go find a person to go and track down our waitress because we had been waiting on a refill of entrees and sauces for 30-40 minutes (no exaggeration). Normally service is much better

My husband and I have been coming here at least once or twice a year for the last 8 years for special occasions or date nights. This time was the worst, the dining room was obnoxiously noisey due to crying kids. Everything we ordered came out late or not at all.

The first seat us, considering an almost empty restaurant, in a kind of a backspace with three tables, no windows, very dimmed lights, and an 80's disco light. I couldn't bear it more than a few minutes though my wife found it romantic and we asked to be seated somewhere else. They moved us on a hallway with an AC above us that made a low-frequency baffling sound.That's it; we're out of here!

The waitress we had her name was Courtney, she was very pushy and rushed us through our dinner. Was not very pleasant, didn’t make any small talk, made the experience awkward. She would not let us finish a course without already bringing the next one. What happened to the busch light or Budweiser? That was a disappointment that there wasn’t any. This was not our first time at the melting pot and every time until now we’ve had amazing service. Hopefully it was just an off night.

The waitress was a ditz and didnt leave the wine cooler to keep our bottle of champagne cool. She also left a spoon in the hot pot like an idiot. Wasnt the best experience. She also charged us wrong on the bill. Clueless girl. She wasnt sure what she was doing. We've had better on other occasions though.

I do enjoy eating hear. It is all about the experience but the Amish t of time it took to get refills on food was exceptionally long. A 2 hour experience could easily be cut down to an hour or hour and a half max without losing the experience.
